I don't wear jewellery as a rule but have recently taken to wearing this guy on my Little Pinkie:

As far as I can gather he's over 100 years old, 18 carat gold and the stone is pure tourmaline. It's been in the family for many years (over a hundred) and I'm convinced it has magical powers..... for example a few months back I was thinking "£100 for a cable? what a rip off!" just as I was thinking this there was a drop at the letterbox.... one of the envelopes contained a payout of £100 from the premium bonds.. coincidence, maybe.

Two weeks ago I was stressing out over an amp that wouldn't fire up, I put the ring on and (this is God's truth) it fired up no problems.... it just seems to give me powers, much the same way kryptonite helps Superman... there are plenty more examples I could cite but, no need, you wouldn't believe me... let's just say this ring will be spending more time on my finger than off from now on.

Do you have a favourite ring? If so please show us your ring and the story behind it.

Shouldn't you be on the ground screaming in agony then?

Whoops, I thought kryptonite gave him powers the same way as spinach powered Popeye..... oops, proves I don't watch too much TV

I don't have a picture of it, but it's a promise ring my girlfriend gave me. I wear it everyday and everywhere except when I shower for fear of losing it down the drain. I feel naked not wearing it.

i wore an iron ring after taking a roman class in college b/c that was what they wore and i thought their code of honor was cool and all that....but then i realized that rings make my fingers feel bounded...so i dont even wear my wedding band now...

Just found this old thread and I thought I'd put in my two cents:
 
Engagement/wedding ring:
The one with the stone belongs to missus, the one without a stone is mine.
Width approx. 4mm (Imperialists/Americans, use a converter).
18 carat white gold.

 
Left index finger: A simple smooth round surfaced dual-tone white gold/gold ring.
Mostly white gold but the inside of the ring is regular gold. 14 carats, width ~3mm, could not find a picture.
 
Right middle finger: Thor's Hammer -ring from Kalevala Jewelry. Silver. Could not get it off my finger to check the carat stamp

Not much of a story here.
This is my undergraduate graduation ring:
18k solid gold, ruby stone.

What if I'm American and know what 4mm is.....................

The time of Americans not knowing the metric system is quickly coming to an end.
